2. Oppose the Kyoto accords and the imposition of carbon taxes.

3. Legislate stringent anti-pollution laws.

Corporate Espionage.

Currently a little unknown parasite has rended Australias second largest Oyster producer, at crisis point.

There oyster sold from London to New York. This of course provide jobs and an Australian flavour in this industry.

The farmers are hoping for some drought relief similar to our farmers on the land.

This corporate agent does not seem to have any effect on other marine life.

The parasite attacks the oysters glands and basically starved it to death.

And now after the death of our natural oyster bases the government is offering to give juvenile anti resistant oysters.

Now that is one way to get a product to market. The question is asked.

Bird Flu in asia

Japan has confirmed its 17th case of mad cow disease in a four-and-a-half-year-old cow, the government said.

Mad cow disease has Japan in its sights.

Experts at the National Institute of Animal Health concluded that the Holstein cow from Otofuku town in northern Hokkaido prefecture (state) was infected with the fatal brain-wasting illness, Agricultural Ministry spokesman Tomomi Sugizaki said.

The infected cow has been slaughtered and will be incinerated, and there is no danger that diseased meat will be circulated, Sugizaki said.

Eating beef from an infected cow is thought to cause the fatal human variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Older cattle are considered more vulnerable to the disease.

Japan has checked every slaughtered cow entering the food supply since 2001 after it discovered its first case of mad cow disease, known formally as bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or BSE.

Japan has also blocked all US beef imports since the first US case of mad cow was confirmed in December 2003.

Last month, a Japanese government panel agreed to accept a US proposal to exempt younger cows from testing in order to resume limited imports. However, the Food Safety Commission, which makes the final decision, is still reviewing the matter
